Piece of Mind

Have you ever felt that you were so tied up in knots that you would have to burn yourself alive just to get rid of the feeling? We've all been there, done that. Sometimes I get so caught up with trying to do everything at the last minute that my head feels like it might explode. That's when I decide I need to find my 'piece of mind,' that little place in the back of your head that you can always count on to be there. I like to take a long walk or sit back with headphones in and let my music take me away. It's like rolling your eyes in the back of your head and kickin' back on a island of your own paradise. You can go anywhere, be anything inside your mind.

So if you've ever laughed at someone whose day dreaming and not paying attention to anything, don't laugh because they're just enjoying their vacation in their own paradise. I suggest trying it some time.

My Future Plans

I've thought long and hard about the things I'd like to accomplish. I know there's a lot of people my age that haven't even given a thought of what they'd like to do after high school, but I decided not to be one of them. I have everything plotted out inside my head like a list of groceries on a crumpled piece of paper. Once I accomplish one thing, I'll cross it out in my head and move on to the next.

It's finally 2010, my graduating year. The year that I figure out if everything I've worked for pays off. I'm going to try my hardest to keep my grades up. Before I found inspiration to do something, I never cared about my grades or my future but now that I know what I want to do I want to work hard to reach my goal. After I graduate in May, I want to move to the big city and find a good job, attend college, and figure out who I am exactly. It won't come easy, but no one ever said life is easy. Whatever doesn't break me might make me stronger. I want to leave this town with no strings attached, and no chains to hold me back. I want to leave all my fears and bad memories at the door so I can wipe the slate clean.

I've learned that with a little determination and patience, I can accomplish anything and that is what I hope to do.
